Stinkin Truth Podcast treats the NFL like a film room with jokes still on the table. Mark Schlereth and Mike Evans move from draft position breakdowns to roster arguments, then detour into neighborhood stories, impressions, and blunt football logic.
PRESS PLAY
Stinkin Truth Podcast is built around NFL argument, film study, and the kind of football language that assumes the audience can keep up. Mark Schlereth and Mike Evans work through the league from the line of scrimmage outward. Draft season gives the show its clearest shape. Tight ends get sorted into Y and F roles, tackles are judged against modern edge pressure, running backs are measured by contact value and pass protection, and pass rushers get studied with an eye toward who they actually beat on tape. The show likes a strong take. It also likes to earn one. Schlereth will start with a player, loop through technique, role, scheme, body type, comparison, and league context, then land back on the original question with more force than polish. Mike Evans often gives the conversation its setup and counterweight, pushing for definitions, comps, and practical meaning for fans following the draft or their own team’s needs. The football can be dense. The room stays loose. A discussion of tackle value can turn into a history lesson on old right tackles and attached tight ends. A running back breakdown can become a riff on plus-two yards and body type. An offseason topic can slide into lawn work, neighborhood small talk, and self-deprecating bits before snapping back to the league. Guest energy can change the texture, especially when Frank Caliendo brings impressions and media memories into the room. The show is not tidy studio polish. It is a quick, opinionated football conversation with sponsor breaks, tangents, recurring draft obsessions, and a strong preference for trenches, toughness, processing, and whether a player’s traits actually translate.
Made for: For NFL fans who want draft and roster talk with real attention to line play, position value, and player traits. It especially suits listeners who enjoy technical football language when it comes wrapped in jokes and blunt opinion.
What sets it apart: The show’s edge is its trench-first evaluation style: tight ends, tackles, backs, and pass rushers are discussed through role, technique, and fit rather than only headlines. Its casual, digressive rhythm makes detailed scouting talk feel like an ongoing football conversation.
